MariaDB lacks of bitmap-based incremental backup support and gives an error with incremental backups.
I've Googled for a workaround and found that passing the --incremental-force-scan flag with the incremental backup command makes MariaDB working with XtraBackup.
I've fixed this for myself by adding this flag in the exec_incremental_backup function. Might be worth adding this flag for future releases.
